Description
- This application claims priority from Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 61/537,075 filed Sep. 21, 2011.
- Industrial lubricants have been available for many years. However, most users of industrial lubricants do not utilize a controlled system to evaluate the surface to be lubricated for suitability to a specific type or formulation of lubricant, manage lubricant selection and application, and dispense the lubricants based on their effective life-span and suitability to a particular application or environment. Instead, industrial lubricants are commonly dispensed for maintenance purposes without much planning or forethought to the purpose and durability requirements of a particular surface or environment, and generally not evaluated or replaced until a major issue arises in the equipment. However, understanding of lubricant properties and suitability of different lubricant types and formulations is necessary to perform the regular lubrication that is needed for most equipment to run smoothly and continuously without break-down or other interruption. If lubrication is not purpose selected and a maintenance cycle not established, prior to encountering an issue, then regular maintenance may not be effective in mitigating or avoiding an equipment failure due to deteriorated lubricant. This is a common issue in industrial environments mainly due to users who are not aware of the lubricant types needed for specific surface types, the viable service life of lubricants, and the lack of an established, easy to use system. Therefore, there is a continuing need for an industrial lubrication system that provides users with instructions and ways to identify surfaces to be lubricated.
- A quality system that controls the types of lubricants used in specific applications would help users to maintain regular lubrication maintenance on their equipment. It is therefore desirable to provide an industrial lubrication system that provides industrial lubricant products in a protective case and includes an instructional lubrication guide for identifying a specific lubricant for a specific surface and purpose.
- The following presents a simplified summary in order to provide a basic understanding of some aspects of the disclosed innovation. This summary is not an extensive overview, and it is not intended to identify key/critical elements or to delineate the scope thereof. Its sole purpose is to present some concepts in a simplified form as a prelude to the more detailed description that is presented later.
- The subject matter disclosed and claimed herein, in one aspect thereof, comprises a lubricating kit that provides an easy to follow system of product application by identifying the surface where the product is applied. The lubricating kit comprises a color-coded and numbered lubricating guide and a purpose built case for housing the lubricants. The lubricating guide provides lubrication instructions and identifies each product and identifies the surface where each product is applied. The purpose built case comprises all types of industrial lubricants that technicians or other lubricant users may need.
- Furthermore in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the lubricating kit comprises product labels that follow the lubricating guide which provides a user with an easy to follow system. The lubricating guide identifies a surface in need of lubrication, recommends a specific product for the task, and provides basic application directions and durability estimates. Specifically, the product containers of the lubricating kit are color coded and numbered to correspond with the colors and numbers on the lubricating guide, thus allowing a user to identify a specific product for a specific surface and purpose.
- To the accomplishment of the foregoing and related ends, certain illustrative aspects of the disclosed innovation are described herein in connection with the following description and the annexed drawings.
